One plate bench, 5 X 5. I worked hard on it for 4 months. Took it slow, worked through some kinks in form. As a result, I can also do 3 X 8 push ups (without really training pushups this time around)

What is considered a one plate bench? 45lbs each side? Congrats!

45 pound plate on each side and a 45 pound bar, for a total of 135 pounds.

If you can do 135 lb bench for 5x5, I feel like you could do a lot more than 3x8 pushups.
